Food Politics: ALDI Divisive Practice?

February 13th, 2024 at 01:25 am » Comments (0)

“The Bud Light special treatment”
ALDI faces mass boycott over
National Procurement Officer job posting 

So begins yet another chapter in my personal battle with the Division, Exclusion & Inequality practices that affect my shopping choices.

Skipping the entire 14th Amendment argument for equal protection under law…


The financial aspect: It will add about $10 a week or $520 a year to our Food expense.


That would then be balanced by no long needed an Instacart+ Membership so for 2024 that would be offset by $99. With careful shopping likely I can do better to reduce the financial aspect.

Personal Politics: ALDI will be the loser (however small a customer we may be) and to a lesser degree Food Lion & of course the very diverse and really nice people who shop and delivery for Instacart (doubt they will miss my membership)

Food Politics: King Arthur

January 9th, 2024 at 01:46 am » Comments (0)

I have been a customer of King Arthur Flour, now Baking Co first by mail order and now in my local supermarket since the late 1960’s.

Once again, I support Equal Opportunity, not the harmful to all humans narrative of Division, Exclusion & Inequity represented by their Pitchfest contest now in progress.

My comment today (2025-Jan-09) on the FB King Arthur Baking Company web page.

Apparently The King Arthur tag line: “Our mission is to inspire connection.” now needs to be changed to “Our mission is to inspire division.”

So now King Arthur is sponsoring politics of division – you just lost a customer – perhaps you should take a look at how such actions have effected other brands as well.

At some point the info re Pitchfest was replaced with

Baking Pitchfest 2024
We are pausing online applications due to overwhelming response to the program. If you are interested in applying, please email bakingpitchfest@kingarthurbaking.com.

I cannot help but wonder why.
